Strip all spellcasting above 10th level from the caster of the wish and give it to the EK.  The caster cannot recover these abilities until the EK uses them, at which point the EK loses access to the slots and the caster can regain them.  Immediately level the bad consequences from the wish onto the caster.IN ANY CASE, make the stakes known to the player and allow them to reconsider the wish.  This is a case of unclear communication about the scope of available wishes and the consequences of them where it seems the players and GM are perhaps on different pages.  That's a bad place to be for leveling consequences because that mismatch means that the players are very likely to feel blindsided, especially if consequences are harsh.  Since you introduced the idea of more powerful single use wish, but it doesn't seem there was a followup on the scope of what that meant, I'd be cautious in how you make choices here absent an open discussion with the players.</blockquote>
